Overton’s Remezan Abdullah has been named MVP of the All-District 12-AAA soccer team.

Abdullah scored 26 goals and had 12 assists this season for the Bobcats (16-3-2). The senior striker set a school record with 38 points.

“He brought intensity, integrity and passion to the game,” Bobcats Coach Ben Sohrabi said. “This individual does not settle for anything less. A player of his caliber is hard to come by. His presence makes our team better and players around him better.

“Remezan is a clutch performer. During the regular season playing at Hillwood, Remezan scored two equalizing goals in the last 3 minutes to tie the game. Absolutely incredible.”

A native of Kurdistan, Abdullah was born in a tent at a refugee camp in Turkey in 1992. The second oldest of seven siblings, his family fled Saddam Hussein’s regime. He arrived in the U.S. in 1995.
